Standard Process Introduces Mushroom Complex for Cats and Dogs

Standard Process, a leading whole food-based nutritional supplement company based in Wisconsin, has expanded its veterinary offerings with Mushroom Complex — a science-backed formula for cats and dogs that delivers multi-faceted support for the immune system, digestion, cellular health and long-term wellness.

“Today’s pet owners are increasingly focused on their animal’s wellness and overall health,” said Katrina Verdeur, Product Development Manager – Pet for Standard Process. “There are different approaches to supporting a healthy pet and different components can support multiple body systems.”

Every serving of Mushroom Complex delivers a combination of research-driven ingredients formulated by the science team at the Standard Process Nutrition Innovation Center. They include a mushroom extract blend (428 mg per serving), bovine colostrum (171 mg per serving) and beta glucans (150 mg) — each contributing to the product’s potential benefits.

“Mushroom Complex provides a guaranteed number of beta glucans coming from a blend of mushroom extracts,” Verdeur said. “The mushroom extracts are derived from the fruiting body of the fungi and extracted with hot water to pre-digest and concentrate the active components of mushrooms.”

Mushroom Complex also contains ancient oats from the Standard Process certified organic farm, which provide their own profile of beta glucan fragments and other bioactives.

“The oats in the Mushroom Complex product are different from conventional oats many consumers and pets are used to,” Verdeur said. “The oat is an ancient variety, Avena strigosa, which is known to have a higher level of protein and avenanthramides.”

Mushroom Complex — along with all other Standard Process Veterinary Formulas™ products — is available for purchase at Standard Process.
